Register clicky

I've not updated my Mac with it just yet, but will do when I next use it.
OpenOffice is getting closer to what most home users need with every release. Hardcore office workers might find the functionality lacking somewhat, but it's still a great alternative to Microsoft's offering.

Edit: Link fixed, was posting in a hurry before the boss came in this morning :oops:
